Introduction: There are very few scholastic studies applying a theory-driven methodology to analyse the employment of teledentistry in clinical practice by the Saudi dental community. The objective of this research was to predict the employment of teledentistry in clinical practice by the Saudi dental community using the UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model.
Methods: A countrywide survey was executed from November 2022 to April 2023 among the dental community (pre-graduate students, graduates, post-graduate students, general dentists, and specialist dentists) involved in clinical practice.
Context: A regular and timely first dental visit plays a cardinal role in the future oral health of the child. It is used to begin preventive and corrective interventions in dental care.
Aim: To evaluate the age, chief complaint, diagnosis, and treatment done during the first dental visit among children in an academic dental institution in southern Kerala, India.
The current review narrates the findings and discusses the available diagnostic tools for detecting structural abnormalities.
